After five years of gathering funds and contests to name a tunnel-boring machine, work has begun on a subway tunneling project in Los Angeles.The project, which was approved in 2012, will connect three lines in order to end the madness of changing to a different line to traverse the 2 miles separating one side of downtown from the other.With construction 10 weeks in, the L.A. Times staff went underground to get an up-close view of the tunnel-boring machine and tell its readers about the work that is going on underground.The view accompanying the story is a 360-degree video.
